what was the light showing this morning ? float or boost ?

@ButterRobot it has a gauge showing charging rate which goes down as it charges I’m just worried about it being damaged or exploding it’s a maypole mp716 charger

@Mattbennet its different to what im used to...but it sounds like if the gauge dropped it reduced to trickle charging which would mean its all fine.

@ButterRobot I hope so it’s a new charger it has fuses and like I say overcharge protection I’m just worried about it getting hot and causing a fire or the battery being damaged that’s all

@Mattbennet i wouldn't be concerned. It sounds like it behaved perfectly.

@ButterRobot it’s still on and it’s on boost that has me it’s almost 1:00 here in the U.K. I just hope nothing bad happens
